The Popular Science News presents
In late issue an article bearing on
this subject, in which 1t sets forth one
reason why such bodies as the moon,
Jupiter, and Saturn could not be In.
habited by beings Of the same physi-
cal constitution as mankind, even
supposing that other conditions gov
ering existence there should be
favorable, which is not the case. The
argument in question depends on
the action of gravitation at the sur
face Of these several bodies. Thus, at
the moons surface, the force Of at
traction being very much less than at
the earth's surface, a being constitu.
ted like man, and endowed with the
same muscular energy, could leap to
astonishing misunderstanding, for
example, three-story brick house
with the same ease that he would
clear q post and rail fence on the
earth; the elephant would become as
light footed as the deer; a stone
thrown from the hand of q thought.
less boy might fall in an adjoining
county before accomplishing its
mission Of destruction; armies could
engage each other in battle at great
distances apart; and all kinds of
labor would be greatly lightened by
reason of the diminished weight Of
tools and materials. While this state
of things might not render human
life, endowed as we have it on earth,
impossible on the moon, the opposite
state of things which would prevail
on Jupiter and Saturn would certain
~ render life, in reality, q burden.
The masses Of Jupiter and Saturn,
being so much greater than that OF
the earth, the correspondingly greater
attractions which they would exert
would so impede locomo.ion that I'm.
less endowed with enormously
greater muscular power than he Is
gifted with on the earth, man would
only be able to crawl along as though
his feet were weighted with lead,
while the larger animals, In all proba-
bility, would be crushed by their
own weight.

The feeling is very general that
were great war to take place In
Europe, the United States could not
avoid some sort of entanglement.
Hence the appropriations passed by
Congress tor guns, forts, torpedo boats,
and Notifications. The people do not
want to fight, and are reluctant TO
spend vast sums of money on arma-
ments which they hope never to use.
Then they are afraid, moreover, that
this clamor as to our danger is in the
interest of contractors, who would
like to handle some of the govern
ment money. But it is certain that
the vast body of our people look with
apprehension on our exposed sea-
coast. Property to the amount of So
600, 100000 is, they say, at the mercy
of any nation that has a fleet. They
recall the fact that in the war of 1912,
in an era of sailing-ships, Washing
ton was captured by the British and
our Capitol burned. Cortez and Pizar-
70 conquered Mexico and Peru. coun-
tries that had done the Spaniards no
harm, but the cupidity of the latter
was excited by the fact that those
nations were unprotected, and had an
abundance of gold and silver which
| could be seized. China was always
a peaceful empire, living within itself
aud avoiding foreign intercourse; but
its people were unwarlike and de-
fenseless, which fact WAS taken adj
vantage of by Great Britain and
France, two of the foremost of modern
civilized nations, to conquer and
plumber this rich and populous coun-
try. 1t is these considerations that
have led to feeling that we should
not be open to insult and probably to
spoliation. And 80 it comes about
that the United States, without a
wish to trespass OH other nations, and
with 10 love of fighting, is busying
itself with ornaments, Notifications,
and warships.-From Demorest
Monthly.

1t is frequently charged that the in
ter-state commerce law is the result of
plottingof the powerful railroad kings
of the country and that this much
talked of law has been originated and
enacted1in the interest of railway COR
porations. This, We feel satisfied. Is a
mistake. We believe the law to be an
answer to the universal demand Of the
people that this government shall in
terpose its powerful hand between the
boundless greed of the rich and power
full and the great mass oflaboring and
producing people who can in no other
way protect themselves. 1t means
that railroad companies can carry
their work of discrimination no
farther; that they will no longer be
permitted to build up one CITY at the
expense of another as may suit their
fancy or their pocket book that there
shall be limit to the toll which they
shall levy upon the industries of the
country and that they must cease
forcing the payment Of interest and
dividends upon millions of fictitious
wealth. That the law will be intelli-
gently interpreted and honestly and
impartially enforced there is but little
doubt and that it will have beneficial
affect upon the interest Of the great
majority Of the people there is even
less of doubt. BY shrewdly placing un.
warranted and unexpected construc-
tions upon the law and by q rigid and
bombastic enforcement Of these fan
ciful constructions, the railway COM
panies will endeavor to make the
law odious and bring about its repeal,
but they will not succeed. An advance
has been made In the progress and de-
vslopsment Of this government of the
people, by the people and for the people,
and what has been gained will not be re-
linquished. The law is probably imper-
feet and changes and additions will be
found necessary, but never, SO long as
right can assert itself and the people
continue to advance in civilization and
the art of self government, will the
main features of the law be repealed.

A Cause OF Rheumatism.

The pleasant drafts of air which render
life more endurable during the hot sum-

rheumatic affections Of the winter. Euro
peans in very hot climates, to secure sleep,
make such free use Of the punkah, or fan,
that they acquire form of rheumatism
against which no remedy can be wholly
successful. Gen. Briere de pIsle, OF

TO CORREsPONDENTx.

While the SILVER STATE desires and
invites correspondence on matters OF
local or general interest from all parts of
che country, it insists, for obvious reasons,
on knowing who it's correspondents are,
therefore communications must be signed
with the real name OF the writer, not
necessarily for publication, but to prevent
imposition. Several communications re-
ceivsd recently have not been published
for the reason that we do not know who
wrote them. A person who writes facts
or expresses opinions for publication,
should not be afraid or ashamed TO ayow
bis responsibility for the same by giving
his name to the publisher, and if the ar
ticles are OF personal character, to shs
public.

r,nE doom OF TnE ANARCHISTS

The full decision OF Governor Oglesby
lin the cases of the Chicago Anarchists,
which was made public last evening, ap'
pears in the SILVER STATE. It is argu-
mentative and logical. It recites the
fact that murder was committed; that
the defendants were found guilty Of the
crime. and that the Supreme Court al.
firmsd the findings of the jury and the
decision of the lower court. Several OF
che defendants publicly declared that
they would accept no Communication OF
sentence short Of liberty, while two Of
them humbly begged for life. As he be-
lieves all to be guilty, he could not grant
unconditional pardon to those who would
accept nothing less, and, therefore, does
not interfere with the Judgment Of
the court, but to those who sp
pealed for mercy he extends ex
ecutive clemency, by committing their
sentences from death to Imprisonment fol-
life.
To-day, therefore, four men in the
prime Of life expiated on the scaffold will
their lives the advocacy and execution o.
doctrine which should never have OBJ
tanned foot. because there is no oc
casion for it, on American soil.
It is to be hoped that the fearful fate
of those men, whose idea of liberty wat
the subversion Of law and the substitution
OF anarchy for order. viii enable Most
aud his deluded followers to see thai
Nihilistic methods are not necessary and
cannot be tolerated in country where
